No, the Mesopotamian god Tammuz/Dumuzi was not born on December 25th. There is simply no evidence for this in Mesopotamian mythology.
Tammuz however, was celebrated in the Summer. In fact, there was a whole month named after him. To this day, Jewish, Turkish, Assyrian, some Kurdish and some Arab calendars have the month of Tammuz
